rossi to test Ferrari at Mugello

Valentino Rossi's Ferrari test will take place over two days later this month at Mugello.

The Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport said the event, in homage to the 29-year-old MotoGP rider's latest title triumph, will be held at the Ferrari-owned circuit on 20 and 21 November.

Rossi tested for the famous Maranello marque several times in 2005 and 2006, as the two sides contemplated joining forces.

In 2008, however, it has been made clear his Ferrari test is for fun only.

Gazzetta said the test has been given the personal approval of Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo.

"Valentino Rossi has confirmed he will again shun the chance to run the number one plate in MotoGP next season, instead keeping his famous number 46.
The Italian has never carried the number one plate following any of his previous MotoGP world championship wins, always preferring to stick with the number 46 used by his father Graziano.
Next year will be no exception, though as he has done in the past, the eight-times world champion will carry a number one on the back of his Dainese leathers.
Rossi said: “I will definitely keep 46 because it is my number and everyone knows it.
Sometimes I am a bit sad because number one is also a great number, but I always ride with 46 and I want to continue. I will have the number 1 on my back as in the past.”

Six-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi will show his support to the BBC's Children in Need appeal when he takes part in the Wales Rally GB next month.
The Italian, who will drive a Ford Focus RS World Rally car in the event, will carry support for the BBC's Children in Need charity, with a special livery.
"It's a tremendous honour to have Valentino Rossi promoting BBC Children in Need," said Children in Need's Marc Phillips. "We have had a remarkable response to this year's event on November 14th - and Wales Rally GB will be a fabulous final flourish for us.
"With a charity auction being held at the Service Park on the Friday night and volunteers collecting throughout the rally, it will be an important few days for us."
Rossi added: "I'm looking forward to Wales Rally GB – and am hoping for a good result at next weekend's Monza Rally in order to prepare for the forests."
"I'm also delighted to be supporting BBC Children in Need, which does such vital work in the UK. It's a great charity and one I'm very pleased to be involved in."
Wales Rally GB will take place on 4th-7th December.
